Sareeka Malhotra has a busy schedule. We are on the phone after several
daysofasynchronouscommunicationviaemail.Aresearchandinnovation
evangelist by profession, she describes her work with Symantec, helping
thecompanycreatemoreuser-friendlyproductsbythinkingoutsideofthe
box, as her day job. As we speak, she is in the middle of her other full-time
job, “[taking] care of a shy shih tzu and a not-so-shy five year old.”
Between her roles as Silicon Valley professional and full-time mom—in
a task that might sound as impossible as walking between raindrops—
Sareeka finds time to occupy another role, several of them actually, as a
stage and film artist.
SareekagrewupinDelhi,thedaughterof‘tigerparents’whoplacedalotof
emphasis on academics. While she excelled at her studies, she found time
for lots of extracurricular activities, including stage work in school plays.
Shebelievesshehadtheactingbugeventhen,butittookamovetotheU.S.
to bring that feeling to the foreground.
After earning her MBA in India, Sareeka came to the U.S. (and went
on to earn a second master’s degree). One day, she happened to see an
advertisement for “Vande Mataram,” a stage production by Naatak.
Founded in 1995, Naatak (www.naatak.com) is one of the largest Indian
theater companies in America. After going to the show, Sareeka was
impressed to see people in the U.S. doing such good Indian theater.
She immediately joined the company’s mailing list, and when her email
delivered notice of an open audition for a play called “Talaash Vajoodon
Ki” she decided to respond.
“Lotsofpeopleshowedup,”sherecalls.“Itwasaprettyintenseaffair.Ittook
a whole day to finalize the cast but in the end I earned a very powerful
woman-centered role, an articulate doctor who challenges deep-rooted
attitudes and beliefs related to gender inequality.”
Since making her stage debut in 2000, Sareeka has branched out to other
theater companies like A’shore, Woman’s Will, Asian American Theater,

which is putting up its 48th production this year.
“[Naatak is] pure volunteer work all done for the love of the theater. All the
organizers are working professionals. Any revenue that’s made goes into
the next production.”
Inadditiontoherstagework,SareekahasproducedthreeplaysforNaatak.
“I enjoy event management and juggling a lot of things. As the producer,
I was responsible for everything from sales, marketing, and publicity to
ticketing, costumes, and props. The producer is responsible for everything
from A to Z, but there’s a lot of teamwork.”
One of her productions was a ‘Naatak in a Room’ production called
“Muavazey,” based on a celebrated script by Bhisham Sahni. The play was
performed in a very intimate space in the style of a street play, with the
audience reaction almost becoming part of the performance.

Story continued
“In India it is very common. Street plays, that’s how they are referred to
there. When you have some relevant issue to talk about, it’s very easy to
attract the attention of the general public by just standing in the road and
talking about it, performing in front of any audience you can. It could
be social issues, equality, women’s rights; people will stand on the street,
sing, dance—make sure they get people’s attention. The theme of my play
wascorruption,howeverystrataofsocietyisimpactedandinmanyways
contributes to a corrupt system.”

Jumping at the chance to meet some of her childhood idols, she emceed
concertsbyAshaBhosleandGhulamAliKhan.HerfluencyinHindiand
Urdu served her well there. She also conceived and hosted a now-defunct
radio show about parenting called “Baby Matters,” which aired on KLOK
1170 AM. (Recordings of the show can be found on YouTube.)
“I found a sponsor in my dentist friend Dr. Navjyot, produced it myself,
had guests on, and talked about a range of topics from summer camps to
parenting a child with disabilities. It was my small way of giving back to
the community while deriving a lot of satisfaction in the process.”
Afterafive-yearbreakfromthestage,sherecentlyreturnedtoherprimary
passion with the role of Sunita Saxena, the main character in Naatak’s
November 2014 production “Andhera Hone Tak,” a Hindi adaption of
Frederick Knott’s play “Wait Until Dark.”
The play (which in 1967 was made into a well-regarded film featuring an
Oscar-nominated performance by Audrey Hepburn) is a suspense thriller.

“It was an interesting experience playing someone who can’t see, while I
could see everything on stage. I did research to find out what it’s like to be
in the shoes of someone who doesn’t perceive things as I do. In the end,
the experience of playing the role was both challenging and extremely
gratifying.”
In addition to her stage work, Sareeka is a voice-over artist. She has also
appeared in a few local films, including “The Family Party,” a short film
by director Pari Mathur about the culture clash between Americanized
teenagers who want to attend a party and their traditional parents who
insist they attend a somber religious ceremony instead.
“The beauty of being in the bay area is there’s so much talent and so little
that people need to get their dream into action/reality.”

Education Spotlight:Antoinette Battiste
There’s lots of chatter these days about the newly designed SAT,
scheduled to go live in Spring 2016. Students in the Class of 2017
– current high school sophomores – will be the first students
affected. The changes reflect a move towards greater alignment
with Common Core Standards. Many experts in the field of
standardized testing describe the new SAT as significantly more
difficult than the current version of the test. So what exactly is
changing about the SAT? Here are a few highlights…
Scoring – The SAT will return to the 1600 point scoring scale.
Subscores for reading, writing, math, and science will be provided
and the 1/4 point deduction for wrong answers is being eliminated!
Format and Length – There will be four sections (Reading,
Writing, Math, No Calculator Math) plus an optional writing
section. However, the total time for the test remains the same, 3
hours 45 minutes.
Evidence-based Reading and Writing – Sentence completions
are gone. Students will be required to read longer passages from
the disciplines of science, literature, and humanities, to test their
knowledge of grammar in the context of the passages read. A new
twist is the Global Conversation portion which requires students to
engage in critical analysis and deeper understanding of founding
documents such as the Declaration of Independence.
Math – There is a stronger emphasis on algebra and significantly
less focus on geometry. The questions require students to
demonstrate their ability to problem solve using multiple steps, as
well as apply their mathematical skills to real world situations.
Science – The new SAT will incorporate tables, charts, and graphs
and test takers will need to find correlations, plot points, and
manipulate data. Science items will be incorporated throughout
both the verbal and math sections.
Essay – There will be a 50-minute optional essay focusing on
critical analysis skills, where facts, not student opinions, are
emphasized. The writing prompt makes this very clear and
concludes with “Your essay should not explain whether you agree
with the author’s claims, but rather explain how the author builds
an argument to persuade his audience.”
The Elephant in The Room – The New Sat
Test Prep – The College Board is partnering with Khan Academy
to provide free, comprehensive test preparation. This will be a
huge benefit to many students who need, but cannot afford test
prep. Khan Academy will have College Board-endorsed practice
material, and Khan will offer diagnostic baseline tests to generate
personalized practice plans for students.
Recently I attended a counselor college tour in Texas, along with 50
other counselors. The new SAT was definitely a topic of discussion!
At each of the 8 schools we toured, college admission reps were
asked if they would accept scores from the current SAT or require
students to take the new SAT, and how super-scoring might
occur. Several of the schools had not made a final determination
of how they would handle scores from the old and new versions,
however most indicated a leaning towards accepting either. One
big unknown was whether the writing component of the new SAT
would be required. Stay tuned!
More students than ever are taking the ACT – the other college
entrance exam – and there is speculation that this trend will
continue with the rollout of the new SAT. The last opportunity
students will have to take the current SAT is January 2016. In
these times of uncertainty, students should definitely consider all
of their testing options, including taking the current SAT as well
as the ACT.
To read more about the redesigned SAT, here are a few links: www.
khanacademy.org/sat, collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat-suite-
assessments/sat, and www.applerouth.com/experts. Good luck!

9 Smart Uses for Your
Tax Refund
If you've finished your tax returns and discovered you’ll be receiving
a nice refund, you are not alone. The average IRS refund was about
$2,900 in 2014. But before you dream up ways to spend that money,
think of how helpful this “extra paycheck” could be. Here are nine
ways to use your refund wisely:
1. Pay off your debt. Whether you’re making payments on a car loan,
education loans, a mortgage or high interest credit cards, use your
refund to make a dent in what you owe.
2. Boost your emergency fund. Experts recommend stashing the
equivalent of three to six months’ worth of income in an emergency
fund. If your account is low, has been depleted or doesn't exist yet,
your refund could help you cover expenses in an emergency.
3. Ramp up retirement savings. According to the Pew Research
Center, approximately 38 percent of U.S. adults are not confident
they’ll have the money to retire. If you’ve gotten behind in your
savings, your tax refund might help you catch up. Not only that,
you’ll get to enjoy watching how far that money can go when it’s
accruing interest.
4. Start or add to a college fund. Even if your kids are young, those
college tuition bills will be arriving before you know it—and they’ll
likely be larger than you expect! Seek out an education savings plan
and get a head start on your child’s education.
5. Make an investment. Consider putting your refund money to
work for you.
6. Improve your efficiency. Investing in home improvements can pay
off in reduced energy bills. For example, replacing an old refrigerator
with a new ENERGY STAR®-rated unit can save you $200 to $1,100
over the lifetime of the appliance. Some energy-efficient upgrades
may help you get a discount from your utility company as well.
7. Bolster your life insurance. If it’s been a while since you reviewed
your insurance coverage, you may find you’re underinsured.
8. Invest in yourself. Have you put off continuing education because
you didn't have the funds? Your refund might provide a good start
toward tuition. (Even better: Earning a higher certification could
lead to a raise or promotion!) You also could make an investment
in your health: Get a personal trainer, update your home exercise
equipment or join a gym.
9. Be generous. Find a cause or organization that you feel strongly
about and donate your refund to it. Your contribution, added to
others, could make a bigger impact than you think.
Neither State Farm nor State Farm agents provide tax, legal or
investment advice. Please consult your tax, legal or investment advisor
regarding your specific circumstances.

Introducing New Contributing
Photographer Dave Walters
It’s eight o’clock, you’re ready to walk out the door with your
preschooler and suddenly you realize today is picture day. The kids
aren’t wearing anything you really want in a portrait and their hair,
well let’s just say it’s a bad hair day. Much to your surprise when the
portraits return your kids look so cute! While you went to work Lil’
Angels Photography combed hair and dressed your kids in outfits.
Lil’ Angels Photography specializes in school portraits with flair. We
come to your children’s preschool, dress them in unique outfits and
take their portrait. Expect them to tell you stories at home about being
a firefighter or a ladybug because they have a great time playing dress
up. Parents have no obligation to purchase and when the prints return
three weeks after photo day they are already cleaned up and ready to
hang on the wall and share with family and friends. All prints come
from a professional laboratory on high quality photographic paper that
will last beyond your lifetime. Your school benefits because Lil’ Angels
Photography donates 10% of package sales back to your school.
Unlike other school photographers, Dave Walters, the owner and
photographer of Lil’ Angels Photography is not a big corporate entity

For the past three months we have looked at some signs your parent/s
need more help, and the different care options available. Now that you
realize they need more care, how do you convince them it’s time to
move? This is rarely an easy conversation to have. Maybe some of this
sounds familiar when you broached the subject of looking at a few
assisted living communities. “This is my house and I’m not leaving. I
can take care of myself. Why can’t you just leave me alone?”
This can be very frustrating for you. But, remember, they may feel
you are trying to take away ALL of their independence. This is an
emotional journey that may bring out fear, anger and depression.
The bottom line is to think about what will be best for your parent/s
safety and care needs. So many of my clients wait until their parent/s
have a fall before convincing them that it is time to move. Falls can be
catastrophic and many elderly end up in the hospital and are released
with worsening dementia and an increase in care needs.
No two families are alike, but here are some ideas to consider when
convincing your parent/s that it’s time to make a change.
1. Plan for the future. Know in advance that it will take several “little
discussions” to get parents used to even hearing about a move. Even
if your parent doesn’t seem to hear you, they are taking in bits of
information. Many people need time to intellectually and emotionally
process thoughts.
2. Present the plan for the move in an optimistic, honest, adult-
adult manner. “Mom, this community will provide you with comfort
knowing there are always people around to help you if you need it”.
3. Name some of the benefits of moving, such as not having to maintain
such a large home or taking care of the yard.
4. Patience is the key with a stubborn parent. Remember, you are
asking them to make a huge change in their life. Never Demand they
make a change, but ask their opinion concerning their options.
5. Get professional advice from their Physician. Many seniors respect
the opinion of their doctors.
6. Enlist support from their friends, minister, rabbi, family members
or others they trust and respect. These people can also offer
encouragement for the move.
7. Remember that this doesn’t have to be permanent. All communities
offer a 30 day notice to move out and operate on a month to month
contract.
8. Assure your parent that you will help them to make their new
residence feel like home by hanging family photos, artwork, and
decorating the way they would like it.
Remember to take things slowly. They may have lived in their current
home for 50+ years so they will need time to process this emotional
decision. Assure them that you love them and that you are only
interested in keeping them safe and getting them the best care possible.

“Be the change that you wish to see in the
world.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
I once thought of myself as living in a box. I loved my box. My box
was safe and comfortable. I conformed to living my life based on the
rules, structures, and values of my upbringing without questioning.
My family, friends, church, clubs, and work were all a part of my box.
In my box, I knew exactly what I would and would not do. I became
very stringent in my way of being and very rigid in my body—I was
stuck. What became possible for me was to step outside my box and
behold all life had in store for me.
Think for a minute…what is possible for you? What is possible if you
had no fears? What is possible if there were no restraints on your life
and you had all the resources you needed? What is possible for you to
be… to do… to have?
Employ the following three actions, in order to intervene in the process
of getting stuck and see the possibility to spring forward.
1. New Awareness. Reflect upon actions and results to gain insight.
Reflections brings awareness, awareness is the beginning of discovery.
2. New Behavior. Ask yourself what observable behavior you want
to interrupt. Find a new behavior to replace the old. New actionable
behavior produces a change in our being.
3. New Relationship. Develop a relationship to hold you in the new
behavior. Accountability in a relationship, be it a coaching relationship
or support network, can hold you to new behavior.
Today, I’m no longer in the box. I am “Alice” who has stepped into
“Wonderland,” and there is a whole world to engage with. I can go
where I want to go. I can do what I want to do. I can be who I want to
be. There is Possibility in Springing Forward!

10th grader Sophia Lau, a Dance Theatre International company member,
just earned first place and an “Einstein Award” in this year’s Sciencepalooza!
Sciencepalooza! is an annual science fair exclusively for students of San
Jose’s East Side Union High School District. Every year, approximately
1,000 students make their way to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds to
participate and have their science projects judged by professionals from
businesses, schools, and universities throughout Silicon Valley.
Here, Sophia talks about the science fair and how her study of ballet aided
her science studies.
The science project I conducted was extremely meticulous and time
consuming. Time management was essential when it came to ensuring its
success. It was definitely challenging to be able to fit something that required
so many hours of focus into my busy schedule, therefore it increasingly
required an intuitive and creative mindset.
I expected that ballet would be something that I would benefit from as a side
interest, but I definitely did not expect to become so attached and committed
to it. It grew from a hobby into an entirely new part of me. Three years ago, I
never would have guessed that I would be where I am today.
I now appreciate the immense work that goes into making something so
difficult look so effortless. My ballet training, specifically with Mr. and Mrs.
FerlaatDanceTheatreInternational,isverydetail-orientedandisaneffortto
strive towards giving the best you can.
Everyone at DTI definitely shows a
real passion which is one of the most
important aspects to being successful
not only in dance, but also in life.
Ballet taught me time management,
dedication, discipline, importance
of prioritizing, determination, and
organization when it comes to
balancing.

The United States has always been a nation of immigrants. That
description also reflects the population of Santa Clara County. We
are a county of immigrants, historically and currently.
In size, the immigrant communities make up 60 percent of the
County’s population of 1.8 million, including U.S.-born children
of immigrants. That makes our county one of the most diverse in
the nation. At least 100 languages and dialects are spoken here and
more than 50 percent of County residents speak a language other
than English at home.
As I said in my State of the County address in January, we consider
this diversity an asset. It makes us who we are. But it also demands
that we respond to the needs of our diverse community, including
our immigrants.
That’s why Supervisor Cindy Chavez and I proposed creating an
Office of Immigrant Relations, which will come before the full
Board of Supervisors in April. The new office would continue to
provide services to immigrants but also focus on collaborating
with service providers, analyzing the needs and contributions of
immigrant communities, keeping an eye on changes in laws and,
most importantly, getting the information out to the community.
The office’s immediate mission would be to help residents eligible
for the immigration reforms launched by President Obama in
November 2014 – the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA) and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and
Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA). All applications must be
processed by the end of 2016.
These recent and legislative changes in immigration are positive but
can also be confusing for the estimated 70,000 residents eligible for
these programs. We need to be sure that our immigrant populations
receive accurate and understandable information. Even though
DACA is being delayed by a court injunction, fraudulent notarios
are preying on residents, giving them false information and taking
their money with no results. Recently, the board approved a plan to
allocate $1.8 million in one-time funding for information and legal
services to help residents through the process.
But there are many other services the Office of Immigrant Relations
could provide to help all of our immigrants integrate and be
successful in our communities, including advising the Board of
Supervisors so that we have thorough and updated information
before we make decisions about programs that will affect all
residents in Santa Clara County.
You may have some ideas or concerns of your own. Please call my
office at 408-299-5030 or email me at dave.cortese@bos.sccgov.org.
You can also visit www.immigrantinfo.org/info for updated research
and resources on Santa Clara County immigrants.

Clients often ask me what they can and cannot take onboard their
flight. What ARE you allowed to bring onboard?
Think 3-1-1! You are allowed to bring 3.4 ounces of liquids, gels,
aerosols, creams and pastes in a 1 quart sized plastic Ziploc and only
1 per passenger through the security checkpoint.
Medications, baby formula/food, and breast milk over 3 ounces are
allowed and they do not have to be in Ziploc bags
The TSA has a Mobile App at www.tsa.gov/mobile that provides
24/7 access to frequently asked questions. You can check whether
an item is permitted or not for carry-on of if it must be checked. In
addition, you can search security wait times and check an airport’s
flight status.
Another question often asked is what is required for identification
on a flight.
Passengers 18 and over must show valid identification upon check
in and through security checkpoints. Basically, a valid government
issued driver’s license, or a U.S. Passport or Passport Card. There
are additional forms of ID that are accepted. Please visit the TSA
website at www.tsa.gov for more information.
The TSA began the Secure Flight program for 100% of domestic
and foreign airlines with flights into, out of, and within the U.S. in
November 2010. It requires that all passengers provide their full
name, date of birth, and gender. This is to reduce the number of
passengers misidentified as a match to the watch list. A major goal
of the program is to reduce inconveniences and save passengers
time with issues at the ticket counter.
The TSA has created a system for passengers that travel frequently
to expedite the check in and security process. It is called TSA Pre✓.
ThosewhoareeligiblefortheprogramareU.S.citizenswithaKnown
Traveler Number, those who have been invited by a participating
airline, members of the U.S. Armed Forces. All members of Global
Entry are also eligible.
There are currently eleven carriers that participate in the TSA
Pre✓ program. They are Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American
Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways,
Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, United Airlines, US
Airways, and Virgin America. The program is available at more
than 120 U.S. airports.
I hope this information is a useful tool in preparing you for your
next flight and helps you navigate and expedite through the security
check point process.
All the information I have provided has come from the TSA website.
I highly recommend visiting if you have any further questions
or would like more information to refer to the site. It is quite
informative and thorough: www.tsa.gov.

Cleaning products are everywhere in our homes and offices.
We use them on dishes, countertops, furniture, clothes, floors,
and windows. In our war on dirt and germs, we may actually be
making things worse.
Most of the conventional cleaning products we grew up with are
petroleum-based and have dubious health and environmental
implications. Instead of opting for cleaning products that could
annihilate everything in their path, try natural alternatives that
can be as effective as the products currently be under your sink
Why Choose Green Cleaning Products?
• Studies suggest that chronic exposure to cleaning products has
a correlation with higher cancer rates. (The Seventh Generation
Guide to a Toxin Free Home)
• More than 90% of household cleaning agents have never been
tested for their effects on human health. (Breast Cancer Fund)
• Household cleaning products rank among the most toxic
everyday substances to which people are exposed. (Raymond
Francis, M.Sc., Never Be Sick Again)

Burton, herself a senior, (although she much prefers to be called vintage), is the
director of a project called My Life, My Story, My Legacy. She is seeking seniors
who would write, or be interviewed for one of their favorite stories, and each
would be a chapter in a book or audio book.
Growing up, Danni was greatly influenced by the stories that sustained her
through her childhood and teenage years. And, today, many young people do
not have that legacy, as they are not able to visit or learn from their seniors for
any number of reasons.
There is such wonderful wisdom that comes with age, experience, and life’s
teachings. The project is to collect these stories about overcoming adversity,
inspiration, and hope, and humorous learnings. And, each story becomes one
of 20 chapters in the book, and part of a special documentary about the legacy
of passing on ideas, insights and funny ways of looking at life. And, with the

Are you a senior with great stories? Do you know others who have a great
attitude or humorous way to look at adversity? Danni and her team would
like to hear from those with stories, and those inspired by the idea of paying
it forward. This is another wonderful way to know, relate, and appreciate each
other in our communities, and honor the great wisdom, ideas, and inspiration
gifted to us from someone we meet through a book or tape.
Please feel free to contact Danni, to share your story or feedback or ideas. And,
by the way, she herself is a very entertaining Scottish storyteller!
